DIARRHOEA SCREENING PANELS We have been developing panels of tests to screen for infectious causes of diarrhoea. These have proved both useful and cost effective, and our range of tests is still expanding.

5 5 NEWS 2017 has been another good year for Rossdales Laboratories and we thank you for your continued support. We are always looking for ways to improve our service, so please do get in touch if you have any feedback. NEW PATHOLOGIST We are delighted to welcome Jill Bryan, who has joined the laboratory as a diagnostic pathologist. Jill joins us from University College Dublin, where she worked as a Lecturer in Veterinary Pathology. She qualified from the same College in 2003, having also completed a BSc in Veterinary Pathology at the Royal Veterinary College as part of her undergraduate training. After three years in equine and small animal practice she undertook a residency in Equine Internal Medicine at the University Veterinary Hospital in Dublin and became a diplomate of the European College of Equine Internal Medicine in She subsequently completed a residency in Veterinary Pathology and obtained her fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists in She enjoys all areas of equine diagnostic pathology and has particular interests in infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. She is already proving to be a great addition to our lab team. NEW qpcr TESTS CORONAVIRUS: In 2017, Rossdales Laboratories detected the first clinical case of equine Coronavirus infection in the UK results recently presented at the ECEIM conference in Budapest by Jill Bryan. The incidence of disease is low, but in cases with compatible clinical signs, testing helps confirm the diagnosis and is a useful addition to our panel of qpcr tests for infectious causes of intestinal disease. INFLUENZA: Influenza qpcr is a new addition to our panel of respiratory pathogens. DERMATOPHYTE qpcr: Assays are in the final stages of validation keep an eye on our website & latest submission form for these new tests. See the PCR section (p10) for our full range of tests and sample requirements. NEW POSTMORTEM FACILITY Work on our new postmortem room was completed early in 2017 and provides us with a fantastic new facility for performing these examinations. Please contact the laboratory on or the duty vet on call if you need to submit a carcase for postmortem examination.
